Attempting to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 1998, the Indians jumped out to an early lead in Game 3, but Jake Westbrook ran out of gas, allowing six runs in five-plus innings. Trot Nixon belted a homer, but made a costly error, while Ryan Garko and Jhonny Peralta each drove in a run.

Facing elimination, the Yankees fell behind early and lost Roger Clemens to a left hamstring injury, but stormed back to send the ALDS to a Game 4. Johnny Damon's go-ahead three-run homer highlighted a four-run fifth, while rookie Phil Hughes tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings and got the win.
